Julian Hattem, Staff Writer, The Hill

The House is close to considering a bill to drastically change the National Security Agency’s surveillance programs. The bill was approved by the Judiciary and Intelligence committees last week. It would end the NSA’s practice of storing telecommunications meta-data in its own data centers. For what to expect next, Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp spoke to Julian Hattem, a staff writer for The Hill newspaper.
